What I Want" The February Marvel Solicitations

CAPTAIN AMERICA #35
THE NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA FIGHTS FOR THE HEART OF HIS COUNTRY IN A CITY GONE INSANE!
Last issue was just the tip of the iceberg, as the Red Skull's master plan kicks into motion, and chaos begins to take hold of the US, with only one man to stand in its way, but is he up to the task?


Of course I want this, top of the list as usual. But the blurbs don't help any, you know. "In a city gone insane!" would not make me want a book I didn't want already, and neither would the promise of chaos. But yeah, want.


MS. MARVEL #24
Brian Reed and Aaron Lopresti break the record set by Ms. Marvel's original series by reaching the twenty-fourth issue (cue fireworks)...and they do it in style! On Monster Island, surrounded by thousands of Brood, Carol Danvers regains her long lost Binary abilities...but the price may be her life!


Monster Island sounds interesting, the Brood do not, but Carol generally holds my interest. Besides, the thirteen-year-old would be thrilled if Carol became Binary again, so I'm getting.


MOON KNIGHT #15
“GOD AND COUNTRY,” PART 2
With Moon Knight leaving a trail of broken bodies in his wake, Tony Stark has one question on his mind: How the hell did this psycho get a Registration Card? But by the time Stark uncovers the truth, it might very well be too late. For Khonshu has great expectations of his avatar -- he wants the streets washed with blood, and what Khonshu wants, he usually gets.


Yes, indeed, I still want Moon Knight--they're changing writers but I'll see how it goes.


MIGHTY AVENGERS #9
DOCTOR DOOM!! The Avengers invade Latveria to take down Doctor Doom for his chemical attack on America. Only maybe it wasn't Doom exactly. It’s wall-to-wall mayhem as Mark Bagley joins Avengers writer Bendis in this globe–trotting spectacle filled with hints about next year’s SECRET INVASION!


Okay, the book sounds all right, just hope there's enough story in the now, as opposed to leads for Secret Invasion.


YOUNG AVENGERS PRESENTS #2 (of 6)
Teddy Altman thought he was just an average teenager with super strength and the ability to shapeshift. Then he discovered he was the son of a Skrull Princess and the Kree's most famed hero - Captain Marvel. Writer Brian Reed (CAPTAIN MARVEL, NEW AVENGERS: ILLUMINATI) and Harvey Tolibao (IRON MAN ANNUAL, STAR WARS) bring you the tale of the Hulkling's first meeting with the father he never knew.


Again, of course I want this. Partly because I've pretty much given up on the likelihood of seeing the YA regular book come back, ever.


NEW AVENGERS #38
The break up! CONSPIRACY, PARANOIA, BETRAYAL may have taken their toll on the Avengers newlyweds Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. After the shocking turn of events at the end of last month's NEW AVENGERS ANNUAL, has Jessica Jones turned her back on THE AVENGERS? Who better to help tell this story than Alias artist Michael Gaydos returning to Marvel for this special issue. Guest-Starring the Mighty Avengers. WHO DO YOU TRUST?


Sounds a lot more interesting than Mighty Avengers.


SHE-HULK #26
THE WHOLE HERO THING Conclusion!
As the battle between an Alien Bounty Hunter and an Intergalactic Fugitive rages on around them, She-Hulk and her new partner must try to defend the innocent lives caught in the crossfire. Finally, Jen will re-learn what it means to be a hero – at a terrible cost.


I hope this is better than it sounds, because if not I'll be dropping another book. We'll see.


CABLE & DEADPOOL #50
SERIES FINALE! Alien symbiotes plus dinosaurs equals what? A threat unlike anything you've ever seen! The dreaded VENOM SYMBIOTE has multiplied, and made some new friends of the prehistoric variety, giving the Merc with a Mouth his final opportunity to prove himself the ultimate hero -- or the ultimate villain! Guest staring SPIDER-MAN! The FANTASTIC FOUR! The MIGHTY AVENGERS! And of course, those lovable goons from AGENCY X!


*sniff* This is so sad, the end of Cable and Deadpool. All I want to know is where can I find Deadpool after this? (As for Cable, the caring is a good deal less.
